Highveld

The Highveld is the elevated inland plateau region of South Africa and Lesotho, defined as the part of the South African plateau lying above roughly 1,500 meters but below about 2,100 meters in altitude. It is mostly rolling plains with few significant mountains, apart from ridges such as the Witwatersrand and Magaliesberg, and covers about 400,000 square kilometers, some 30 percent of South Africa land area. The region combines major commercial farmland with the country largest concentration of cities, including the Gauteng conurbation, home to about a third of South Africa population, and its summer rainy season brings afternoon thunderstorms from November to January, while winters bring frost; the Vaal River and its tributaries drain most of the region, with the south draining into the Orange River system.
